Tag: Mark Richt vs Top 25 teams

(1) Who is Georgia – what have we accomplished – why have expectations?

(2) Who is Mark Richt – what has he really done after 2007 ?

Why did Georgia Bulldog coach Mark Richt quit ?

He did NOT quit. He was FIRED.

For cause.

This blog for 8 long years told you why he had to and guaranteed that he WOULD QUIT. In fact, this blog ALSO stated the date he would quit – right after the Georgie tek game 2015 where he looked like crap AGAIN !

He was given no choice. We had offered the job to Coach Kirby Smart and Mark Richt was being fired for averaging 4 LOSSES a season for 8 years now. After 2007.

He also was # 40 in Win Percentage vs the Top 15 after 2007. For # 11 All-Time Wins’ UGA.

FIRED.

NOT QUIT.

Replaced.

Ousted.

Sent packing.

Run out of town on a rail.

Who are we ? What have we accomplished ? Why should we expect more than averaging 4 losses per season over the most-recent 8-year period ?

Sports Illustrated Zac Ellis :

” I used to consider Texas the best job in the country, but now I think it’s Georgia, followed by Ohio State. Why Georgia? My top criterion is access to players relative to competitors, and Georgia is in a really enviable position. In the past five recruiting classes, an average of 113.6 high-schoolers from the state of Georgia have signed with Power Five schools each year. (Note that we’re talking Power Five, not all of the FBS.) That number is third behind Texas (179.4) and Florida (164.4) and ahead of California (100.4). The competition between state schools in those states is far more intense than it is in Georgia. With Georgia Tech running the option, the schools aren’t really going head-to-head on offensive players because of different needs, and Georgia is the bigger brand name. It’s also in the conference that more recruits consider desirable. In Georgia, they grow up wanting to be Bulldogs. The state of Ohio produced 64.6 Power Five signees a year over that same five-year period.”

“Do Alabama, Auburn, Clemson, Tennessee, South Carolina and others come in and poach Georgia talent? Absolutely. But there’s such an abundance of it in the state that Georgia can afford to lose a few top in-state targets and still field a team capable of competing for SEC and national titles. Alabama and Auburn have to invade Georgia. During that five-year period, their state produced 36.4 Power Five signees a year. People talk about LSU’s monopoly in its state, but the numbers between Louisiana and Georgia aren’t even close. Louisiana’s average number of Power Five signees during that span was 38.6 a year.”

“Add to this great facilities (now that the Bulldogs are building an indoor), great tradition…possibly the best college town in America and the fact that they play in the easier division of the nation’s deepest conference. That’s the recipe for a great job that just about every coach in America would crawl over broken glass to take.”

“I know no school president or athletic director will ever say it out loud, but coaches almost always get fired because of their win-loss record—not because they didn’t mold enough men.”

ESPN Alex Scarborough: “Let’s be clear, they’re both great jobs. If LSU and Georgia are open, the line of candidates will stretch as far as the eye can see. But for me, the question of which job is more appealing is easy. It’s Georgia, and I don’t think it’s close. The support is there from fans and administration. You’re recruiting in a state that produces the most SEC players of any in the country. And you don’t have to bother with the West.”

ESPN Edward Aschoff: “To me, Georgia would be the better job. It’s in the heart of one of the Southeast’s most fertile recruiting grounds. Atlanta is right down the road, and the facilities are only getting better. It’s also in the East, which has barely registered a pulse recently, so any rebuilding project shouldn’t take too long. And you don’t have to play Alabama every year. But don’t get it twisted, LSU is a great job. Louisiana doesn’t have the talent pool that Georgia has on a continuous basis, but you can pluck plenty of elite-level prospects out of your backyard However, you have to compete in the SEC West !”

2002 when he lost to Florida unranked in the Final AP Poll Top 25 even with their win over us when he went 0-13 on 3rd Down Conversions relegating him to play 5-loss unranked Arky SEC Championship Game and 5-loss FSU # 23 in the bowl game nobody cared about and nobody watched.

2004 when he lost to a hapless Phillip Fulmer vols’ team who should have lost 4 games that 2004 season and he got blown-out by Auburn by 3 TD without extra points 6-24; therefore he did not even get to play for The SEC Championship. For this, he played in the Outback Bowl nobody watched and nobody cared about at 11 am.

2007 when he lost to 6-6 South Carolina who did not even play in a bowl game. And, he lost – blown-out by the vols 14-35 by 3 TD. The vols should’ve been a 5-loss team. For these performances, he was awarded the booby prize of beating # 19 Hawai’i in the bowl game nobody watched and nobody cared about.

2012 when he lost – blown-out by South Carolina 7-35. A 4 TD beat-down. And, then he 3 times in front of me told Aaron Murray No, No, No, do not spike it – that Mark Richt said he was certain that Nick Saban would not expect an Aaron Murray pass, which was batted down at the line of scrimmage with all receivers covered. For these performances he was awarded 4-loss Nebraska # 25 AP Poll in the CapitalOne Bowl which nobody watched and nobody cared about.

Note please, that of these 4 best Mark Richt seasons only 2012 is after 2007 and that year he had 2 really really really bad coaching decisions – not preparing the team to be ready-to-play against South Carolina beat by more than 3 TD for 7 times after 2007 and this 1 of them ! And, then his disagreement 3 times with Aaron Murray that Aaron Murray wanted to spike it and Mark Richt 3 times over-ruled Aaron Murray when Aaron Murray CLEARLY DECISIVELY was correct and Mark Richt just wrong.

These are his 4 “best” seasons and the bowl games he earned for us compared to the 15 Bowl Games on the National Stage by The Georgia Bulldogs’ Football Program, many of which we Won and 6 of those named # 1 by this poll or that poll.

“Athens is an all time great college town, and its women can be put up against anyone’s and come out looking good. People who go to college in the northeast really have no idea what they are missing when it comes to the ladies.”

“The scene here in Athens is something that has to be experienced to be believed. If you’re over on Milledge Ave (Frat Row) on any given weekend night, you’ll hear bands and big time rap names blasting over the screams of some of the finest Southern Belles. But the main attraction to UGA is the downtown scene; it is absolutely unreal. Thursdays find wild outfits from socials running around, and every other night it seems like the entire student body is out raging in their Sunday best. Athens is where The South’s finest go to raise a little hell.”

Testimonial #2:

“To put it simply, Athens is insane. Every single night of the week, you can go downtown and find people drinking and partying. Whether it be Sunday nights at Pauley’s or Thursdays at Whiskey Bent, there will never be a shortage of attractive Southern men and women downtown to meet. The Greek scene tends to dominate the party scene, with socials every Thursday and band parties nearly every weekend. However, one does not have to be Greek to go downtown and have a great time. Getting into bars downtown is a joke as well, so being a freshman does not mean you can’t join in the fun. Downtown Athens has 20+ bars where you can drink as much as you want. This is also a great school for guys, where the student body is comprised of nearly 60% women in a school of 32,000+. Saturdays in Athens on Gameday are also one of the big parts of the insanity. Typically, people wake up and start drinking and tailgating all day until the game starts. Athens is literally shut down so everyone can party and watch the game.”

“The music scene in Athens is also a big part of what makes UGA a great party school. With the Georgia Theater attracting big names on a weekly basis to huge country concerts in Sanford and out in the field, there will always be somewhere to listen to music and drink. Athens, GA is the best college town in the United States.”

We raise a little Cain, now and again.

We are characters !

I am sorry; we are characters ! And, we don’t like what’s been going-on over the last 8 years here.

Look up please here at this URL Link the OTHER FOOTBALL PROGRAMS who are considered the Top Football Programs and see how far down they are as a University ! These other top football programs really almost all of them are way worse as a school. We are going to recruit more of the Elite Talent here at Georgia after Mark Richt leaves. And, why is that ? Because one, we are a great University AND we have a great Football Program ! And, because two, the top players do NOT want to play for a Charlie Brown who really only beats the cupcakes and who struggles against EVERYONE else. This is the Major Point of this blog, whatever part of it you read.

Now that we’ve established who we are at Georgia, let’s study exactly coldly precisely whom it is Mark Richt has run his record up on, and why he has been considered by everyone as a coach who – just has lost it after 2007. Is it ok if we do this please ? This blog here does not have the 250 top analysts in college football today who have TOLD YOU he has to go for those would make this blog post too long. They are found on the right side of this blog as you read it in the 250 CATEGORIES where you can see in the 250 CATEGORIES on the right just who said what in their own words with the URL Link in each CATEGORY so you can just click it and see exactly that they ALL think he just has to go. Or, shall we just simply say he is a nice guy and leave it at that ?

His roster mismanagement after 2007 has clearly been because of a goal other than winning, and his failures at his main position of QB are that he came here as a QB coach yet has failed to develop them. I think he spends too much time not directly doing his job. In fact, I know that has to be the issue because he tells us winning is not important to him and he’d be SATISFIED with whatever happens here in winning at Georgia. It’s not how he’s JUDGED he says !

You saw something different against # 64 Georgia Southern in the last game than I ?

“We knew. I’m telling you,” Mark Richt said of Georgia Southern. “Everybody was like, ‘well coach is just saying this and that to try and get his boys ready to play,’ but we, especially our defensive staff, could see how well this offense executed. Just knowing what it takes to prepare for an offense like that. It keeps you up at night. Well-coached team. A team that knows how to win. They played their tails off.”

‘ I don’t think we’ve gotta create motivation. I think we’ve gotta temper it’ “head coach Mark Richt said on his radio show Monday night ” before Alabama kick-off this season – blown-out 10-38 more than 3 TD as he’s done 7 times after 2007 and did not once prior, because the team showed-up again not-ready-play ! Told players all week prior to Alabama THIS – that it’s HIS JOB to DE-MOTIVATE them, then they showed-up not-ready-play which the # 1 Athlete in the nation he invited to the game as Our Recruiting Guest told you after the game that his impressions were that Mark Richt did NOT bring his players to the game ready-to-play. It’s written between the lines in this blog post that these items herein listed make it patently clear that Mark Richt does NOT know how to coach a football team, or that if he does, he has FAILED to do so – often because he has a completely different set of goals from our own for our Proud UGA Football Program ! Did you get that please ?

Mark Richt says : “You can’t become what you do. What I do is not who I am. If I become what I do and I become just a football coach, then you’re asking for disaster. My identity is in Christ. I am a born-again believer in Jesus Christ. I know that he died for my sin and I am going to heaven when this is all said and done, forever. That gives me peace, no matter what happens here.”

“All the time y’all probably thought I was being coy but I really really didn’t know. Even on this decision – very very close decision to name the Starter. I think they all can get us in the right plays; all can get us in the right protections; I think they all can function extremely well and help us win. That is what made it tough. I can not tell you how many times it went back-and-forth quite frankly. It was very close. It really has been a tough decision because they all are extremely hard workers; all smart; all capable; all talented. It was a battle that didn’t define itself; no one really pulled away.”

5-2 before the game 8 with Faton Bauta -0- snaps at QB. None all season ! Then, left him in every snap not 1 running play for him – running QB – 4 interceptions. DESPERATE !

“Teams are trying to stack the box against us Malcolm Mitchell said. Vanderbilt stacked the box and we didn’t pass the ball and you saw what happened. Until we get comfortable throwing the ball I hope our defense shows up.”

“I think Coach Brian Schottenheimer is a great coach. I think he knows what he’s doing. I think he knows how to coach QBs extremely well. I’ve got a lot of faith in that.” Mark Richt head coach who calls ALL the shots on Offense and always has – and none on Defense and never has.

David Greene says : “Here we are in November and we still don’t know which direction they’re going in. It’s tough to be this deep in the season really without any identity offensively. Unfortunately it’s not just one thing. Offensively right now it’s very stale. Special teams has really struggled. There’s a lot of talent on the team but sometimes the players just aren’t making plays. As an entire team they just kind of seem lost…like they just don’t know what they want to do and how they want to do it. A good example of that is starting FatonBauta when he has zero starting experience. It just goes to show that what they’ve been trying to do just isn’t working.”

He was BLOWN-OUT embarrassed in 2 of those losses and the 3rd loss was to the yellowjackets averaging the # 52 Scout.com recruiting ranking !

“I don’t think much about it. I think the Lord is in charge of everything. So, I don’t think much about it.” Mark Richt

This is NOT your Calling Mark Richt. The SEC is NOT a Church League son.

We have 26 seasons of 80 % win percentage or higher – THAT is what the OLD 10-Win discussion was about !

Only 1 after 2007 of 80 % for Mark Richt ! One of 8 and it marred by blow-out Biblical Proportions by Spurrier 7-35 and then in front of me Mark Richt over-ruling Aaron Murray 3 times no don’t spike it !

You have told us since Mark Richt, that Nick Saban will never figure it out and expect an Aaron Murray pass with no time on clock, won’t rush him and deflect the pass and will not cover my receivers !

BoWeevil BBA

No one hates Mark Richt either.

I would rather have Mark Richt quit, which is that which I have said all season he will do and why he did not sign the extension – giving up half a million a year.

And, then tell us all that it was the Lord’s Will that we win this morning. Why show up then ? I guess that obviously explains the way you play against ranked teams sir ! We are to forget about the 5, 4 and 4 unanswered touchdowns by the vols, Alabama and Florida against you Mark Richt this season because it was the Lord’s Will ANYWAY so why bother to try ? It’s all preordained ? Where do you dream-up this crap Mark Richt ?

“EVERTHING IS PREORDAINED.”

You have free choice to work diligently at this your job sir – that which we offer-up $ 50 millions of dollars sir to you for coaching our team and being successful at it sir. It’s NOT God’s Will that EVERYTHING is preordained ! Not close ! Not true. Lie. You speaking of that which you have NO KNOWLEDGE ! A neophyte.

Bumpkin.

You sire are being held accountable by God for not performing your lifework up to the greatest of your ability, and wrongly putting it off on God that which was your own free choice sir. Your own free will sir ! Your goals are not our goals. Our goal is not to be SEC Champion or National Champion but to be in the game. 15 times in 15 previous Big Bowl Games Georgia has been in the game, winning most of these Big Bowl Games at the end of the season, the Nation Watching, all eyes on us, between 2 teams ranked at the very top of the Final Poll.

You never got that Mark Richt.

You still do not.

Rewriting history after all you can accomplish is a SEC East title in 8 years sir as that is our goal is just dumb.

Only your supporters who are ALL WRONG and owe me an apology would believe the lies out of your mouth that our goal was to win The SEC East.

The AJ-C has kowtowed to Mark Richt and lied about letters sent to them about our unhappiness with the direction this religious guy has taken our football program.

Bluto said that Mark Richt would be back.

Barrett Sallee Bleacher Report said to another Bleacher Reporter who bragged yesterday how great Mark Richt is and would be back, as well owe me an apology.

The Dawgbone owes me an apology insisting that anyone who dared speak up that Mark Richt is not beating the top teams and not getting us to our goals can not be linked to their WebPages.

Many DISNEYdawgs.com posters who supported the mediocrity of Mark Richt owe me an apology.

What he cares about is religion.

Not our football program.

God does not sit there and be in charge of everything at all.

God gives us Free Choice.

Lesson # 1 in my Discipleship.

According to you, then, God set Adam and Eve up for failure ! He did not. He told you He did not ! It was their will, not His. He gave them and you Free Will.

You just have chosen to NOT do your duties which could have brought great Glory on God, and have FAILED at YOUR HANDS sir ! NOT His.

Genesis 3 God tells us that He became saddened surprised and disappointed in Adam and Eve, sir ! He did NOT preordain it AT ALL ! He then tells us that Adam and Eve and all mankind would suffer for the consequences of our Own Free Will.

That is what God preordained, son. That you have Your Own Free Will, Mark Richt ! As we do to fire you. And, as you do to just step down, which is what I have called for for 8 long years now.

You have chosen to BLAME IT ALL ON HIM.

To resign yourself to Him preordaining EVERYTHING !

That is a purposeful lie on your part as you so often have done here for 15 entire years since you finally showed-up here Mark Richt.

You do not know what you’re talking about. You only recently even began studying the Bible. And, NOT very well. This is the major problem I have with you that you do NOT understand much around you – nor accept the responsibility of being our coach of our football team.

You do not think about it, because well it’s God’s Will ? Well excuse me Mark Richt, but EVERYONE else thinks about it a lot, sir ! Especially all of us who pay your salary sir. For all your obvious talent from this last of your Dream Team, 20 seniors gone, with # 8 Scout.com Average Recruiting Ranking and # 5 Most NFL Draft Picks, you surely are not Top 25 after 2007 at ANYTHING – any way you slice it – Mark Richt over this most recent most current 8-year period.

And, your blaming or resigning yourself to YOUR FACT ONLY that the Lord is in charge of EVERYTHING is another LIE from you sir to obfuscate your lousy records against the top teams after 2007. You are simply trying to turn our attention from your 2 tales of Mark Richt : (1) When you did do well oh so long ago now against the top teams 2001-2007. And, (2) when you GAVE UP, quit trying, made no effort at all, said you would become instead the CEO of this football program – promoted yourself in Peter Principle – to that which you finally then reached your own personal level of your own personal incompetence.

But, say oh well the Lord is in charge of everything.

I am satisfied.

I am over it.

I do not care.

I have no input on it anyway.

It’s all the Lord’s Will.

I do not think about it !

Why should I ?

The Lord is in charge of EVERYTHING.

I think.

I think ?

Nah; not me !

Silly reporter.

Don’t you KNOW that the Lord is in charge of EVERTHING ?

“YOU cannot blame me !”

That’s exactly what that means !

NOTHING else !

God was in charge of 2001-2007 ? God is in charge after 2007 ? Just what is that you SAY God is responsible for and not you Mark Richt – that you say is EVERYTHING ?

You are especially inept, sir, at beating Top 5, Top 10, Top 15, Top 25, and teams who go on to a bowl game that season sir. And, as bad as your records are against ALL of these – none in the Top 25 – with your # 8 talent sir, your record against them not at Home for us, is EVEN WORSE sir.

You tolerate our criticism because to be a coach is to know that, you said after the game this morning Mark Richt ?

You do NOT !

You THINK you are BETTER than us.

So, what you are left with sir is your 37-1 vs non-bowl teams after 2007, eight years of meaningless seasons with 33 teams now looking at 10-win season 2015 sir.

33.

The Lord is NOT in charge of everything. We wanted to pay you over $ 4 million dollars a year until 2019 to have you be in charge of our Football Program. To beat ranked teams as the # 11 All-Time Win program with the # 3 best recruits available in this state which has no competition for them in-state from yellowjackets or Georgia Southern. You have FAILED to do so sir after 2007. No, sir, the Lord is NOT in charge sir – not of our football team, and NEITHER are you obviously.

The Lord is NOT responsible for all this after 2007 Mark Richt, you are !

Mark Richt averages the # 8 Scout.com Recruiting Ranking and has the # 5 Most NFL Draft Picks with 86, but after 2007 he is not in the Top 25 at really anything !

Talk about underachievement ! This blog post details the epitome of underachievement with all his talent after 2007 and details the vast resources at hand for Mark Richt to have accomplished after 2007 diddle-e-squat.

AFTER 2007 by Mark Richt and for which he is judged :

Man and God judge Mark Richt for all this after 2007 in his Calling which the Lord Called Mark Richt to, but which he DENIED and said unto the Lord, I am NOT accepting this Calling Lord. I want to be a preacher man. And, teach people in religion that which I know not either.

This is why we find so many vigorous words and phrases in Scripture, such as “make every effort”, “strain”, “struggle”, “pursue”, “run with diligence the race set before you”, “fight the good fight”, “persist”, “resist”, “stand”, “take hold”, “guard”, “endure to the end”, etc. If everything is preordained, what would be the use of all this strenuous effort?

His plans for all of us – His plans for each of us will not be fulfilled unless we cooperate with Him in their fulfillment.

No sir. Everything is NOT preordained. You should KNOW that ! Your Calling in fact could have brought Great Glory to God, but you choose instead to say God Preordained EVERYTHING !

So, you did not try. Why indeed try Mark Richt – after all – the Lord is in charge of EVERTHING ! So, why think about anything related to anything as mundane as doing your Calling to Glorify Him. To Witness to others by doing what He asks to the best of our ability. As in every word out of your mouth : You just do not get it.

“I don’t think much about it. I think the Lord is in charge of everything. So, I don’t think much about it.” Mark Richt

God is not imposing Himself on everything Mark Richt. Good Lord, son.

This utter nonsense that Religion, Mark Richt and The Georgia Bulldogs’ Football Program may not be discussed, is over here on my blog.

Everything is NOT preordained. God is NOT in charge of everything.

Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

God does not tell ME that He is in charge of everything, but that it is MY choice, as yours – only you do not see it and prefer to hide behind that which you know not, and tell us all purposely that He indeed Is In Charge and not you therefore – not your fault : You say as your parting shot :

“YOU cannot blame me !”

# 41 at 18 losses of 24 games vs Top 15 after 2007 for # 11 All-Time UGA

How can the # 11 team All-Time in Wins, with our Average # 8 Scout.com Recruiting Ranking, with 86 NFL Draft Picks # 5 best nationally, us with 17 seasons of 0 or 1 loss, us with 15 Bowl Games on the National Stage both teams ranked at the top of the Final AP Poll most of which we Won, us with 26 seasons of 80% win percentage or higher have only 1 season after 2007 over 80 % win percentage and it marred by 2 devastatingly horrible coaching decisions to be # 41 in Won/Lost Record after 2007 vs the Top 15 Ranked teams, be 36-1 vs non-bowl teams and only 36-31 for our 72-32 over the most-current 8 years averaging 4 losses per season and therefore have only played in meaningless bowl games by stark contrast with 12-1 record not at Sanford vs non-bowl teams and only 18-22 vs bowl teams # 26 nationally ? How is this possible ? How could this possibly be considered remotely acceptable ? Mark Richt can not win the big game.

He’s gone and I accomplished what I wanted to accomplish with the FIRED guy you kept bragging on. I won ! You LOST.

2013 Vandie not ranked in both Coaches’ Polls and AP Poll time of game

2013 Nebraska not ranked AP Poll for year & not ranked either poll time of game

2014 South Carolina not ranked either AP or Coaches’ Polls for the year

2014 Florida not ranked any poll ever yet blown-out 20-38

Through it all, Mark Richt has averaged the # 8 Scout.com recruiting ranking with his 86 NFL Draft Picks both 2nd best in the nation.

I would love to see us get back to a big bowl game on the national stage with the entire country watching us last game of the year with all the excitement because we have wonderful football players, great talent and because Vince Dooley did it 3 times in 1966, 1968 and 1980, Wally Butts did it twice in 1942 and 1946 and George Woodruff did it once in 1927. Mark Richt by stark contrast has won only 2 BCS Bowls over 5-loss FSU # 23 in 2002 and over # 19 Hawai’i in 2007 – both again in the 1st Half of the Mark Richt era. As far as taking all this talent to National Stage Big Bowl Game everyone watching us end of the season, Mark Richt not only has not won 1, but he has not ever taken us to one with all this talent.

# 55 best college U.S. News and World Report (GT # 36), # 7 stadium, beautiful campus, 3rd biggest state for sending recruits to Power 5 Conferences, 6 NC same polls as GT has 6 NC in, # 11 All-Time in Wins as a program, and this is what we are turning in as our results after 2007 compared to what he once did do for us. I guess the question is is this acceptable ? Should we be doing more ? Should he be doing more than he has been after 2007 ? Should we include what he spoiled us with 2001-2007, and say he is great, or should we judge him on what he isn’t doing after 2007 as compared to prior – the 1st half of the Mark Richt era ?

Mark Richt has not been anywhere near as good as when he 1st got here for the entire 1st Half of the Mark Richt, since. Not at beating ranked teams time of game, not at beating Top 25 in the Final Polls, not at beating teams who played in 1 of the 41 bowl games, not at being blown-out, and not at losing to unranked teams.

Has he ?

Is anyone who notices this huge discrepancy between the 1st Half of the Mark Richt era and the 2nd Half of the Mark Richt era a Richt “basher” or is it only allowed that someone make Mark Richt out as doing well, when he clearly is not. He was. He did from 2001-2007, didn’t he ? He should be bragged on as doing well ? Or, he should get BACK to what he spoiled us with 2001-2007 the 1st Half of the Mark Richt era ? Which is it ?

If Mark Richt had 11 losses the 1st Half of the Mark Richt era to unranked teams time of game or season in AP or Coaches’ Polls, had # 20 ranking vs teams who even played in a bowl game that season, had # 24 ranking vs top 25 for the season in the Final Polls the only ones published for any season, had 68 % win percentage all games, had not even top 25 ranking vs top 25 time of game, had # 8 average recruiting ranking, had 6 games he lost by more than 3 TD, and good guy but can not win the big one, just exactly would you have said ? That he is meeting his expectations or that he is a nice guy – the Charlie Brown of college football – that lovable loser who never won squat ? Is Mark Richt underachieving with the # 8 talent nationally after 2007 ? Well, is he ?

Which standard do you hold Mark Richt to ?

That which he once was accomplishing here in the 1st Half of the Mark Richt era 2001-2007, or that which in fact he has turned in as his body of work since ? Or, should we all just lump them all together and attempt to forget all the pain, misery and damage to the Georgia brand after 2007 clearly not getting the job done. Is he any longer, DOING well after 2007 ?

80 % games won by Mark Richt prior to kick-off Alabama black-out at our house 2008.

68 % games won by Mark Richt after 2007

Buck Belue has said all week now that “This really damaged The National Brand for Georgia.”

(1) Against Ranked teams for the season, called end of year rankings – you know the teams who in fact were good teams that year he played them – Mark Richt is # 24 nationally 11 wins in 35 games after 2007 with the average # 8 Scout.com recruiting rankings. Lost 24 of 35 vs top 25 after 2007.

(2) Against Bowl teams, teams who got to play in one of the 41 bowl games the season Mark Richt played them after 2007, Mark Richt has played 62 games and won only 34 with the average # 8 Scout.com recruiting rankings.

# 24 vs top 25 year with # 8 recruiting after 2007

34 wins in 62 games after 2007 vs team who played in 1 of the 41 bowl games

In addition, 8 inexplicable losses vs not top 25 year after 2007 with # 8 recruiting

Before these most recent 8 years now this season, Mark Richt was fabulous. He was Elite. Now, since, he is called the Charlie Brown lovable loser who can not win the big games. They call it he pulled another “Richt” that the team got “Georgia’d again.” We have read all the national press that Mark Richt is the nation’s most notorious underachiever with all this talent.

6 Georgia Bulldogs National Championships in same polls Georgie tek has 6

Not once Mark Richt meaningful bowl game National Stage, let alone won 1

Not ranked one of the top 25 coaches by Sporting News 2015

After 2007 if opponent made top 25 for year 11-24 for # 24 nationally huge drop-off.

Before 2008 if opponent made top 25 for year Mark Richt 17-15 for # 7 best nationally

After 2007 if opponent played in 1 of the 41 bowl games that year, 62 games won 34-28.

Before 2008 if opponent played in 1 of the 41 bowl games that year, 35-17.

In addition, Mark Richt has lost to 8 teams who DID NOT MAKE the AP Poll Top 25, ranked Top 25 end of year, for the season after 2007. 8 unranked teams. 8 teams who no argument were HORRIBLE TEAMS, Mark Richt has lot to after 2007 with the average # 8 Scout.com recruiting rankings. 8 inexplicable losses vs not top 25 year after 2007 with # 8 recruiting.

Is this acceptable or unacceptable that a coach was so great 2001-2007 and this bad after – the most recent 8 years now ?

You have to be able to answer that question, acceptable or unacceptable ?

It does no good for you, for you to include what he did in ancient history 2001-2007, to say how good a coach he IS. There is no need for you to add that in. Compare what he IS doing after 2007, and you will see, he is underachieving with the # 8 talent for # 11 All-Time UGA in Wins with 6 NC.

So, who do you replace him with ?

How about some of these ?

Urban Meyer is # 1

Nick Saban is # 2

Mark Richt is NOT even in the Top 25

James Franklin is ahead of him, for example.

Jimbo Fisher is ahead of Mark Richt, too.

Les Miles is ahead of Mark Richt.

Bob Stoops is ahead of Mark Richt.

Jim Harbaugh at Michigan, another ranked ahead of Mark Richt as college football coach.

Art Bryles at Baylor is a better coach than Mark Richt.

Gary Patterson at TCU who I wanted instead of Mark Richt, is always considered better than Mark Richt.

Mark Dantonio at Michigan State is always considered a better coach than Mark Richt as well.

David Shaw Stanford always, as well, is considered a better coach than Mark Richt

I agree with them that Mark Richt is NOT one of the Top 25 college coaches 2015.

How about an NFL coach ?

Honestly, whoever comes after Mark Richt is going to be very successful.

Is this who you want representing you anymore now ?

He is not the coach he once was from 2001-2007. There is such a significant decline after 2007, eight long excruciating years averaging more than 4 losses a season, that you can not sit idly by and have nothing to say except what a good man he is. He is paid more than $ 4 million dollars a year to win. And, despite his musings to the contrary there is NOT something besides winning that’s important here at Georgia, as he repeatedly tells you as HIS EXCUSE. He is well aware of the huge drop-off after 2007. Look at him staring down at the ground with all our great talent around him watching him looking at him, AGAIN. From 2001-2007, he had no game he lost where he got beat by more than 3 touchdowns, none, but since – now – he has been beat by more than 3 touchdowns 6 times.

I do not believe I have painted a picture here where you can say that he must be given another 3 years, or that Georgia does not deserve better, or that what he once was, he has NOT been after 2007.

You think I was a Richt “basher” when Mark Richt was winning 80 % of his games ? When he won 17 games against teams who were ranked for that season AP or Coaches’ Polls 2001-2007 ?

You know how I won the debates ? When someone put up a red herring, I got everyone on the side, and said excuse me. Here are the facts. What do you think ? They’d then agree with me on the facts. Pretty simple process. Not that you understand that. Which is why you lose this argument. You have been told repeatedly by everyone who has read my posts for all these years, that in fact, I provided the same facts about how great Mark Richt was up until one day when it just pissed me off all the assholes out there defending Mark Richt recently then when he had turned the corner and quit coaching. And, everyone has read my posts for all these years. Dumb shit. Lazy so and so. And, it pissed me off even more when you thought you could just remove my post from the blog and what I had said would go away. Not be there.

How did that work out for you ?

Then, you prove a friqin’ dumbass you really are. What a damn weak argument that I am a Mark Richt “basher” when it was I you read and said how great what I said Mark Richt did way back then 2001-2007. Hell, you have said how right I was all 30 years you have read me on the Internet. It’s actually been 38 years you have read me on the Internet now and AGREED WITH ME ALL 38 YEARS.

You can not ignore me. You can NOT read a blog because you have no freaking balls and have no damn reply to the FACTS, but you can NOT sit there with 3,000 folks yesterday for example reading my damn blog and say that the reason you do not read the facts is because I am a Richt “basher.” Not 1 came here from some stupid bullshit list of must reads, who in actuality is a list of posts from a pay-per-view site, or those who believe that a person should not be read because they too have no friqin answer to the damn facts. They come here because they know I call it like it is.

I was a HUGE SUPPORTER of Mark Richt when he first got here.

Did you know before kick-off against Alabama 2008 here in the Black-Out that Mark Richt was 80 % win percentage ?

That’s right Black-Out, Mark Richt was 80 % of all his games – WON !

He has turned in instead for 2008 through the end of the most recent season, only 68 % win percentage.

That is HUGE difference.

Everyone knows who I am. You have ALL read me for 30 years on the Internet. ALL OF YOU have. I have posted. You have read it. You know damn well what a huge supporter of Mark Richt I have been when he was good. That was so long ago now, that NONE OF YOU remember like I do the great stuff Mark Richt did way back then until 2007. I posted about those here for you. You read it. You loved it. But, now, that Mark Richt sucks after 2007, you have the unmitigated gall to call me a damn Richt “basher.” That’s bullshit and you know it.

YOU ARE A DAMN LIAR. And, you are a damned Mark Richt Apologist.

You want Mark Richt’s job to be easy as hell. Cushy.

I want him to win.

There is a difference.

That is ON YOU.

Not me.

Mark Richt has not developed a back-up quarterback here other than DJ Shockley when he redshirted him in 2001, and when he did redshirt him DJ’s Dad made Mark Richt promise him that he would at least play DJ Shockley every game. This is just one position where Mark Richt’s roster mismanagement has put us out of position to beat the real good teams. It caught up with him after 2007. He has had issues at other positions such as OL where he fails to get those, FB in an offense that REQUIRES a FB yet there are in fact over 200 FB top-rated every single year we watch all these other teams covet and sign instead, WR where he gets caught with his pants down, and defense frequently like OL and FB frequently it seems that Mark Richt does not give a shit about recruiting. He plays Favorites too. At the detriment of the team. He lacks vision in his selection of QB too. Remember Cam Newton can only play TE for Mark Richt, he told us ? How has Cam Newton worked out as a QB ? Remember Nick Marshall can only play defense for me ? I will not consider Nick Marshall as a QB because Nick Marshall is not as good a quarterback as Hutson Mason is. I will play Hutson Mason at QB and leave Nick Marshall on defense, only. How that work out ? He told us that Joe Tereshinski III is a better QB than Matthew Stafford. Remember that one ? These all cost us games. I will get to the cost of this roster mismanagement in losses in this post too. But, I want to explain WHY he is not in the Top 25 coaches today in college football. This is the most important position in college football, QB. He did not select the QB at FSU but he did teach them. He promised Vince Dooley 20 December 2000 that he would be head coach because of the top recruits UGA attracts AND he would teach our quarterbacks here. Now he sees himself as CEO and FAILS TO DEVELOP his back-up QB every single year except 2001 redshirting of DJ Shockley. He told us that Joe Cox, chronic shoulder and flu too for Okie State game is a better QB than Zach Mettenberger whom I called for pre-game to Start and who got zero snaps against Okie State. He lacks vision. Joe Cox play in the NFL or Zach Mettenberger ? Just like all the others here at just QB we examine of his roster mismanagement, all 6 of these just QB decisions were all wrong. And, I say it is because he did not develop his back-up QB. He told us that Hutson Mason is a better QB than Jacob Park, Brice Ramsey and Faton Bauta; but the facts are the Hutson Mason was # 98 in the nation for us in Passing Offense, could not pass the ball downfield, floated his passes and lost 3 games BY HIMSELF against unranked teams Nebraska, South Carolina, Florida and he also lost to a team with far less talent around their QB. Georgie tek yellowjackets won that game in overtime when Hutson Mason threw the interception in overtime. I remember that. Why don’t you ? Hutson Mason had around him here a lot better talent than their QB who won the game in overtime because of Mark Richt’s chosen one at QB. Bad choice Mark Richt, again, sir at QB. 6 times chose wrong QB. 6 proven times chose wrong QB Mark Richt. In fact, # 52 avg recruiting class to our # 8. And, lost that game too BY HIMSELF. I will discuss game management like wasting time-outs, freezing his own kicker with time-outs, and not have time-outs then when he needs them, game decisions like pooch kick so they have ball 43-yard line 13 ticks remaining us ahead by 3 last year, failing to pound the ball against South Carolina with Todd Gurley II with 1st and goal at 4 on interception losing by less than TD game win staring him in face, not preparing his team to play which happened 3 times last year Florida, Georgie tek yellowjackets and South Carolina and just dumbass game decisions. But, it was in fact Hutson Mason who had the ball in overtime against Georgie tek yellowjackets and he who threw the interception against which LOST THE DAMN GAME. Didn’t it ? And, his 6th dumbass decision lacking vision is at QB this season. He lets Jacob Park go because he failed to develop him when I hoped for a 4-year starter from him. He failed to prepare Brice Ramsey yet game lost he yanks his Starter and puts him in. Brice Ramsey has somewhat better footwork now but why did he not teach him that 2 years’ ago now ? And, he has not given him any preparation to know what is a bad pass. Hell, Aaron Murray had 10 % of his plays here, either a fumble sack or interception. And, he kept playing him. But, Brice Ramsey he yanks for it. Inconsistent roster mismanagement. Faton Bauta he told us all not 4 weeks’ ago now was right there with the other 2, neck-and-neck-and-neck. But, when Brice Ramsey continued to show that he has not been developed by Mark Richt, Faton Bauta was not brought in. Why ? Shit. Alabama had scored 5 unanswered touchdowns in a row. What the hell is he saving Faton Buata for ? Put him in. Now, he says he has to reevaluate everything at QB today for the vols Saturday. Put Faton Bauta in for that game ? Alabama was lost. Right ? 5 unanswered touchdowns. Neither QB did shit except fumble or throw interceptions, or get sacked. Reevaluate everything on the table at QB ? What bullshit. We can NOT lose to the vols. So we go back to what ? A guy who lost his job at Virginia for LOSING to FSU ? He got blown out by FSU, just like he did to Alabama. He is horrible at his QB decisions, choices, developing his back-up QB and this has cost us dearly every year as a direct result thereof.

EFFECT :

What have been the consequences of all this after 2007 ?

(1) Against Ranked teams for the season, called end of year rankings – you know the teams who in fact were good teams that year he played them – Mark Richt is # 24 nationally after 2007.

(2) Mark Richt has lost to 8 teams who DID NOT MAKE the AP Poll Top 25, ranked Top 25 end of year, for the season after 2007. 8 unranked teams. 8 teams who no argument were HORRIBLE TEAMS. Florida for example in the most recent season. They had lost 10 of their most recent 13 games. And, they not only beat Mark Richt, they beat the ever living shit out of him. South Carolina beat him in the most recent season as well. Another unranked team. Who the hell gives a rats’ ass if South Carolina was ranked at game time in week 4 for example ? That is NOT the measure of football team as good or not good that season. Being ranked is. Isn’t it ? Being ranked for that season. The Final Polls. The End of Season Polls. The End of Year polls. The ONLY DAMN POLLS PUBLISHED FOR ANY FREAKING YEAR.

(3) Against Bowl teams, teams who got to play in a damn freaking bowl game the season Mark Richt played them after 2007, Mark Richt has played 62 games and won only 33. He beats the year they played in one of the 41 bowl games, half the teams who played in a bowl game after 2007.

(4) At kick-off 2008 against Alabama in game 4 of 2008, Mark Richt won 80 % of his games here. He has won only 68 % since. Win 4 lose 1. Since, win 3 lose 1.

YOU JUST HAVE no freaking reply to these facts. That is what the problem is. There is NO OTHER problem with me, other than you can not formulate a freaking rational answer how this is acceptable.

When I pin you down on it, you ADMIT that it is IN FACT unacceptable that which Mark Richt has done after 2007 : For example against teams who went to a bowl game that year won only 54 %, against teams who were ranked in the Top 25 that season in the Final Polls the real teams for that season won 11 of 35 for # 24 nationally with # 8 talent, and unacceptable that he has lost to 8 teams who were not ranked that season – EVEN WITH THEIR DAMNED WIN OVER mediocre Mark Richt.

Moreover, you can KISS MY ASS.

If a coach has THIS MUCH working for him, and has in fact # 8 avg recruiting classes with 86 NFL Draft Picks, and all this beautiful campus, # 55 best college in the nation (Georgie tek # 36) US News and World Report, # 7 best stadium, # 1 in Party School, 7 million folks in Atlanta 58 miles away, # 3 best state for high school football recruits signed by Power 5 conferences, # 11 All-Time Most Wins Football, and he is # 24 at beating top 25 teams as ranked for the entire season, he has it coming. That makes him not in fact a top 25 coach with in fact # 8 recruits.

I hope you get that.

And, you can NOT by God Above censor me or ignore me.

Dumbass bullshit artists who think the way you SUPPORT a team is to BRAG on Mark Richt as one of the nation’s best and use some damn stat from 2001-2007 and talk about that bullshit to build him up when you have sat there WITH ME at the games and booed after 2007 – like ALL the rest of us at the games. Shit, maybe you just switch the TV off and don’t even go to the damn games after 2007 for you to put up that bullshit argument that I am a Mark Richt “basher?” Otherwise, you have booed him too after 2007. Haven’t you ? You little piece of shit.

Either way, I don’t give a damn what you think about me. You can not handle the truth. You don’t want ANYONE to say the truth about Mark Richt after 2007. How’s that going for you ?

Well ?

How is that going for you that you do NOT want ANYONE to talk about Mark Richt after 2007 ?

Do you categorically refuse to read EVERY BLOG ?

Then, by God above, you have read it EVERYWHERE.

Haven’t you you little piece of shit ?

You have told your friends Mark Richt has not done well after 2007.

Every freaking place you turn, you READ that Mark Richt has NOT DONE SHIT after 2007.

You know why that is ?

Hello.

It’s ME.

That’s what pisses you off.

Not that I am a Mark Richt “basher” but that I am RIGHT AS RAIN, and specifically point out the exact URL Link and DETAILS of why indeed Mark Richt is the Charlie Brown of college football.

Hell, you do not even know what the hell that means.

Dumb shit.

“You know, Thomas Brown is right.” That is what you say, they say, and why thousands read my blog daily.

You need me. It gives you an opportunity to make up a long list of excuses for why he is not the same coach 2001-2007 that he has been since. You actually think excuses are hard to come up with. No sir. What is hard to come up with are the facts. The truth. It requires you to look up details, be specific and summarize them. And, talking on the Internet requires a special set of skills too. Skills I honed on the Debate Team representing Georgia in NATIONAL DEBATES. All you have to do to call someone a Richt “basher,” is to just say it. It does not have to be true and after all, the last thing you want is to have to say that what I have been saying is what now everyone is saying.

Isn’t it ?

So, instead of saying that you looked at the facts as presented by me and could not formulate a reasonable excuse for the facts that he has sucked after 2007, you just are lazy. Call me a Richt “basher.” And, get handed your damn hat.

You knew I would hand you your hat ?

Right ?

Tell me you knew I would rip you a new asshole when you put forth your weak ass bullshit argument for why Mark Richt recruits the # 8 avg recruiting class verified by 86 NFL Draft Picks but is only # 24 in won/lost against ranked teams for the year after 2007, is that it is because I am a Richt “basher?”

You did know that ?

Tell me you were not pinning your hopes that anyone – least of all yourself – would accept that the reason for Mark Richt being # 7 for 2001-2007 against ranked teams for the season at 17-15 and # 24 since at just 11-24, is because I am a Richt “basher?”

So, you can go stick it up your freaking ass that you actually think you can one-line me as a Richt “basher.” Yeah right – like that then makes it so you can act like what I say is a lie.

If it were a lie, you would say, it is a lie.

It’s not.

So, you say you are a Richt “basher.”

Did you get that ?

Mark Richt has played 35 games against teams who ARE RANKED FOR THE SEASON the real top 25 either AP or Coaches’ Polls after 2007, and has won a grand damn total of 11.

Why is EVERYONE else so much better than Mark Richt after 2007, why is he # 24 at beating top 25 teams after 2007 ranked top 25 for the season he played them, when he averages the # 8 Scout.com recruiting rank ?

Mark Richt was 17-15 for 2001-2007 against teams ranked top 25 for the year, for that season, the real teams the top 25 best teams. That was # 7 nationally. And, you sit there with your weak ass bullshit that I am a Mark Richt “basher.” Grow up. I certainly am not a Mark Richt “basher.” I am in fact a huge Mark Richt supporter of Mark Richt 2001-2007 when he was # 7 nationally, and I criticize him JUST LIKE YOU DO after 2007 for being in fact # 24 with the same # 8 avg Scout.com recruiting ranking.

How can he be # 7 for 2001-2007 and # 24 since against top 25 teams and you sit there and act like anyone is a damned Mark Richt “basher” for daring to say out loud that which you deep down in places you don’t talk about at parties bragging on Mark Richt STILL in 2015 for what he did instead 2001-2007 – NOT SINCE – you know you do not want the damn truth.

You actually think that telling the truth now about Mark Richt 2015 is bad for the program. You really do. You do not want the truth, no matter how damn obvious the truth really is. Including especially, it is what YOU SAY too, deep down in places you do not want to talk about at parties.

You do not give a damn about the truth and I do not give a damn about your wimp ass bullshit of how great he is, when EVERYONE knows he has not done shit after 2007 – including MOST ESPECIALLY you you little twit.

Never mind, you would never get it anyway.

You think he’s God himself freaking reincarnated. While I am certain that the Aliens stole our # 7 best coach in America beating season ranked teams 2001-2007, cloned him but left out the DNA for him having ANY fire since, and replaced Mark Richt after 2007 with a clone without the DNA the original Mark Richt had for fire. He is asleep on the sidelines, and looks down with no answers. That is not the Mark Richt I rooted for, nor the one you attempt to make up flimsy excuses for since. God, make the Aliens beam back down from their UFO the real Mark Richt, oh please God. Thank you Jesus.

He is just a mediocre football coach after 2007 with a ton of talent who can not win the big games. He has 2 BCS Bowl Game wins over # 23 FSU a 5-loss team in 2002 and over # 19 Hawai’i 2007. That’s it. A coach who has not taken us to one single meaningful bowl game with all this talent on the National Stage, everyone watching us. Let alone win one : Heaven Forbid !

# 24 best at beating ranked teams after 2007 with he # 8 talent. How the hell is that great coaching ?

You can not handle the damn truth about Mark Richt. The rest of us ALL know the truth about Mark Richt after 2007. He can’t do shit anymore and still has the # 8 best talent with which he does absolutely nothing. He’s got more losses 2015 yet coming, and this when he is # 19 now with the # 8 talent and for the time after 2007 is # 24 with the # 8 talent vs ranked teams end of year.

If what I say is not correct, you would have long-since have said it is a lie. Since you click the URL Links I provide I know because I get a report on the URL Links you click, and have failed to say it is a lie, all you can come up with is that a guy who loved Mark Richt 2001-2007 when his 17-15 record against end of year top 25 teams was # 7 best nationally, is a Mark Richt “basher” for daring to say out loud that which you say in private anyway that after 2007 Mark Richt is only # 24 vs ranked teams for the season with # 8 talent at only 11-24 vs ranked teams for the season – clearly a mediocre coach.

# 1 Consensus Coaches’ Poll and AP Poll, pre-season, based upon the recruited talent here. That night this talent recruited by Mark Richt and for which he is given so much credit, rightfully, went out and 22 of his recruits he is given such credit for bringing-in here, go out and have a Hell of a Night on the Town, celebrating our # 1.

Pre-season.

You remember all that ?

Or, we are not allowed to discuss that ?

Tell me damn it, which it is please ladies and gentlemen ?

I am TOLD repeatedly that I cannot discuss such items. That my posts should not be allowed. That how you feel ? Thousands of readers out there, and every posted reply from you will be fine with me.

2008, had we started out in the polls # 13, which is where we ended-up, we would have been unranked. It was ALL based upon the talent here at Georgia. Talent you gave Mark Richt great credit for.

We played like crap against 4 really bad football teams to start the season, and dropped from # 1. Then, we played Alabama at home and got shut out 31 to nothing at halftime national TV.

Then, we played like shit against 3 more mediocre teams, not a one of these 3 teams who ended the season a ranked team. That means in fact none of the 7 teams we beat were worth a shit.

Then, another ranked team, Florida we faced, who not only beat us 49-10 but when we finally scored on Florida, their players stood on the sidelines and politely clapped like old ladies at the opera.

Then, we played 2 more crappy-assed football teams and again looked like shit.

Are you remembering how the 2nd Half of the Mark Richt era started-out and how it has gone since ?

Well, do you remember ?

Then, we played Georgie tek at our House, and LOST. Now, with the win this afternoon, Paul Johnson does not even have a losing record at Our House.

Since we did not win 2008, we were relegated to the Citrus Bowl in Orlando. We played a cruddy damn Michigan State team who beat no one that season, playing a weak-assed as hell schedule. They ended the season ranked # 24 in both polls, because AFTER the bowls the voters rarely drop teams out of the top 25 who were in it because they played weak schedules and lost. Michigan State lost 4 games 2008 season.

2008 Season record : Started # 1 both polls, ended-up # 13 in the AP Poll. Spent the entire season with BAD PRESS about our recruits misbehaving. Played cruddy-ass football every stinking game all season long. We played 4 ranked teams in either the AP Poll or the Coaches’ polls for the season, and lost 3 and beat # 24 who beat no one and did not deserve to be ranked. Did they ? Hell, California beat Michigan State 2008 and they did not even crack the AP Poll Top 25 that season. That’s our best win. Otherwise all the ranked teams, beat Mark Richt.

Our Mark Richt Apologists banded together and suggested was a GREAT SEASON.

Does this sound remotely resembling a great year ? I ask you ladies and gentlemen ?

2009 – remember that one as well ?

We were told all off-season how great Joe Cox is, despite the fact that one quarter of the practices every week all season long, Joe Cox could not even practice, because of his chronic shoulder. Did Mark Richt tell us about Joe Cox’s chronic shoulder and that he could not even practice every 4th day all season long ? Then, on top of that, we had recruited 2 of the top 10 quarterbacks in the nation. Neither played. 1 was clearly the better quarterback than Joe Cox and demonstrated it for me as I watched him G-Day Game. Joe Cox comes down with the flu and we have to hire a separate private flight for him to Stillwater. Okie State did NOT make the AP Poll Top 25 for the 2008 season even with that win over Mark Richt. Zach Mettenberger never even came off the bench in that game, or we would’ve won. Joe Cox played the whole game, barely able to stand-up. His passes were horrible. We played like shit. We LOST. We lose a lot in the 2nd half of the Mark Richt era, not that you want to review these seasons making up the 2nd half of his career here. I don’t know what it is with Mark Richt after 2007. He has no emotion, like yesterday. God Almighty shithead, get some balls and take command, if God will let you sir. His decisions, he always tells us later, he was WRONG ABOUT. He told us he really liked Zach Mettenberger, but LOYALTY meant more to him than playing our best available quarterback, even with the flu.

Joe Cox played Okie State, unranked AP Poll for the season 2008 and lost.

Then, 3 unranked teams for the season and barely beat those unranked teams all 3.

Then, we played a ranked team, and LOST.

Then, we played 2 more unranked teams, and LOST one of those in a blow-out. Worse than Florida this season. A 6-Loss team beat us 45-19. 6 other teams beat them. But, not Mark Richt.

Then, he beat another unranked team.

Then, another ranked team, and LOST again.

Then, we played another 2 more unranked teams we won against.

Then, a 3rd unranked team in a row, and we LOST THAT TOO. That was a 6-Loss team. 6 other teams beat them too like the vols, but not Mark Richt. We lost this game at home here, where I sat in disbelief like all the rest of us that we could make so many mistakes today at our house. Senior Day.

Then, we played Georgie tek 2009 next who would end the season # 13 before being put on NCAA Probation for their rampant cheating 2009. Had we not beat Georgie tek, they would’ve VACATED any win over us anyway.

Then, we played in the Shreveport Bowl. Independence bowl they called it. We played a team with a LOSING RECORD. That is who we ended this misery of the 2009 season with.

2010 – now we have little Aaron Murray as the designated starter. But, it’s not all Aaron Murray’s fault what has happened to this football program the entire 2nd Half of the Mark Richt era 2008-present.

We lose more games than we win 2010. Colorado who fired their coach that season, beats us. What does that tell you ? We returned that FAVOR again this season letting Florida beat us, who the next week fired Will Muschamp. Everybody beat us 2010.

After losing our games 2010 season, we played now in the Liberty damn bowl in Memphis freaking Tennessee. Oh, joy.

That was UCF who was not ranked at game time in the AP Poll, beat us.

UCF lost that season to a 6-Loss team, 5-Loss team and 4-Loss team, but Mark Richt could not beat them. I went to Memphis. We had to go across the river to try to find good Bar-B-Q. That is not a city. It’s like Jacksonville, only without any good weather. Hell hole of a city.

Hell hole.

George O’Leary beat Mark Richt.

Florida was not ranked 2010, but they beat Mark Richt.

South Carolina lost 5 games 2010, but they beat us too.

We did beat a 7-Loss Georgie tek 2010. That is the measure of this 2nd half of the Mark Richt era that we beat a 7-Loss Georgie tek 2010.

2011 we played Boise State to begin the season. Our coach worries about our wardrobe and how it harmonizes, not getting ready to play or having game plans. We went down on MARTA. That was a lot of fun, until we got there and they would not let us in. So, we walked around CNN and found out their food court sucked. We saw a vendor selling expensive T-Shirts that read Bust Boise ! Want mine ? I cannot even mow the grass in it.

Wasted our monies on that, too.

Then, we played South Carolina at our house.

We lost that too. Now, 0-2.

We were so unranked for Coastal Carolina that the Coaches’ Poll votes showed us # 40.

Top 10 All-Time Football Program in Wins with 6 national championships in football, and we’re # 40, the Coaches’ Poll votes show for Coastal Carolina game.

After the 0-2 start 2011, we played a string of ten (10) in a row teams not one of whom made either the AP Poll or the Coaches’ Polls for the 2011 season.

For this, we played then LSU in The SEC Championship Game, Mark Richt now has a losing record in – not as bad as his 5-9 record against our # 1 Rival Florida, but a losing record.

Again, we went to The SEC Championship Game as we did the Sugar Bowl in 2005, and the Boise State game – on MARTA. We go there and it was cold. We went underneath the bridges and tailgated with the LSU fans who gave us Jambalaya with crawfish. They were good to us, as we to them in return in the game 10-42 blow-out.

Then, we played again crappy Michigan State in the crappy bowl game at Raymond James stadium which had about half our attendance at our house. The game was played in the morning. Eat breakfast and you show up late. We stayed out on the beach at Sand Key Marriott and got stuck in horrid traffic. At the least the food is great there. Michigan State of the crappy-ass Big 10, beat us in the Outback Bowl. We were not ready to play that day either. So, it was not just us who got there unprepared.

Michigan State got blown-out 49-7 by Alabama in 2011. Notre Dame, an unranked team all season 2011, beat them by twice their score. And they got blown-out by # 24 Nebraska, who otherwise is not ranked for 2011. Then, they lost to Wisconsin. But, they BEAT Mark Richt.

So, 2012 started off badly with the loss to Michigan State. Then, we had all the off-season usual arrests/suspensions/kicked-off again which has marked the Mark Richt era. Then, we played 5 teams, not one of whom was ranked when we played them. Buffalo, for example whom we struggled against. Then, we played a ranked team 2012, and got BLOWN-OUT 7-35. It was just too gruesome and more of the same we’d been enduring recently then. Seems what we were doing the 1st half of the Mark Richt era, we no longer could do. We could not win on the road against ranked teams, any more.

Mark Richt this off-season, once again had all these arrests/suspensions/kicked-off 2014 which have been so numerous we’re numb to it.

Play good teams and mostly lose. Play bad teams and all too often as well, lose those too.

Play ranked teams for the season on the road after 2007 and LOSE ALL OF THEM the entire Mark Richt era except Georgie tek 2009 – who would’ve vacated the win anyway.

It does appear that Missouri will be a road win against a team ranked for the 2014 season, now. They beat not one single good team. No ranked team Missouri has beat all of 2014. But Missouri is ranked. So, that will leave Mark Richt is 2-10 the entire 2nd half of the Mark Richt era on the road as visitor against a team ranked in either the AP or Coaches’ Polls for these seasons. The 2nd Half of the Mark Richt era began after 2007. He has not done shit after 2007.

2012 – so we won 5 straight to begin not 1 of whom was ranked at game time, then a ranked team and lost in a 7-35 Blow-Out of Biblical Proportions, then 6 more games only 1 of whom is ranked we won, then Alabama. Mark Richt and Mike Bobo were asked not just once or twice but 3 times by Aaron Murray should he spike it. All 3 times, no no no. Aaron Murray kept asking in front of us there because he knew we should. He kept being overruled by Mark Richt and Mike Bobo.

So, after that loss, we played Nebraska # 25. So, for 2012, we played 4 ranked teams, and won 2 and lost 2 – one of whom was in fact only barely ranked at # 25 in the AP Poll and I thought they did not deserve to be ranked. They had moved to the Big 10 and did not do shit 2012 season.

2013 season then, we started out taunting Clemson as they came down their Tiger Walk into their rinky-dink stadium. We lost.

Then, we lost to Missouri, Vandie, Auburn and Nebraska – in addition to Clemson.

All this just last season.

Now, this season. Lose to unranked South Carolina and Florida who fired their coach for not beating anyone the week after he beat Mark Richt. Got fired, but beat Mark Richt the week before.

Now, this : Georgie tek 2014.

We beat Auburn 2014 who lost yesterday as well and is hanging on barley in the Top 25 for this season. Lose their bowl game, and they will not be ranked at all. We probably face the same fate.

This after not being ranked at all 2009, 2010, and 2013 in either the final AP or Coaches’ Polls.

2014 unranked after the bowl game in the only polls published for this 2014 season ?

Peach Bowl where we play this year, after all these crappy-assed bowl games we’ve been to ?

BCS Bowl Wins over only # 24 FSU 2002 a 5-Loss team and # 19 Hawai’i PRIOR to the 2nd half of the Mark Richt era. These are the only BCS Bowl Wins by Mark Richt. Mark Richt is a great head coach ? 14 seasons our head coach and these are his only 2 BCS Bowl wins # 24 and # 19 he beat. He has not even got us on the National Stage at the end of ANY SEASON, in a big bowl game, let alone won one. It’s bullshit to add in what he did do here 2001-2007 and say NOW that is a top coach NOW because you include those years when he did far better then than since.

2014, we did not play any top teams and now do not qualify for a top team as our opponent in a top bowl game, again. So, we will show up not motivated, and not prepared – still playing-out this Hutson Mason Experiment who managed on 1st and goal at the 4 to throw the ball all the way to the 1.

We played Clemson, barely ranked at all and beat no one.

We played Auburn who lost again tonight and is a 4-Loss team, also hanging by a thread requiring a bowl win to be ranked 2014 season.

Georgie tek, ranked AHEAD of us now.

Missouri who beat both 6-win Florida and 6-win South Carolina, both of whom we lost to as unranked teams.

We beat Clemson, Auburn and Missouri who are all 3 still ranked 2014. We lost to Georgie tek, ranked for 2014. So, 3-1 right against ranked teams ? No, sir. You have to figure-in losing to 2 unranked teams, so I see it as 3-3 the same way the NCAA calculates playing a 1-AA team. It does not count, unless you lose – then, and only then does it count.

It’s been horrid the 2nd half of the Mark Richt era, hasn’t it ?

Isn’t it ?

All the arrests/suspensions/kicked-off, all the losses to unranked teams, all the losses on the road to ranked teams those seasons, and all the losses and poor record against ranked teams the 2nd half of the Mark Richt era.

2nd Half of the Mark Richt era :

2008-2014

7 seasons – the most recent current 7 seasons :

63-29 entire 2nd half of Mark Richt era after 2008, averaging more than 4 losses a season

Every game Mark Richt has coached his remaining Scholarship Recruits against a team ranked for the season, in order starting with most recent.

All other AWAY games with Mark Richt as Visiting Coach were against teams NOT RANKED for that season in either the AP Poll or in the USA Today Coaches’ Poll. No skipped games. What have you been watching ? Only that which is ALLOWED to be spoon fed to you about our program nowadays by Chuck Dowdle and his cohorts ?

This post is not censored by anyone anywhere anytime for any reason as to allowable content based upon B.S. feel good stories about a program floundering nowadays, not what he did in 2005. This is 2014.

Why don’t you say something about my Mama ? That’s all you have as a comeback to the facts, anyway – some damn personal attack, like that is a reply to the facts. And, you know it and you know I know you know it. You know and you admit you know that we’re NOT DOING WELL at all, and have not been – which you and I both know too.
